| With possible shortage of suckers I was going to try some bluegill (or other panfish). I was just wondering what the best way to rig them would be? And yes I live in WI so it's legal. |

| When I used them in the past, I'd put one single hook through the nose and let them swim. It was tough, because getting them to swim normally was tough. I tried a few treble hooks on the top of them and they never looked quite right.
I tried a perch once and that one was easier to rig like a sucker. |

| Keep your hooks low so the center of gravity is close to normal... |

Location: E. Tenn | I've used them for stripers, but not musky... hook through the nostrils and you're good to go. I doubt you'll be using any over 8".
Pepper.. I don't know where he's at in WI, but south of US10, there's a 26" minimum size.

The lake I am on in Oneida County also has a 26" minimum for pike. Not sure if it is lake by lake or not. |

Odd..Can't find any mention of any lakes in Oneida Co. with that limit in the current regs... Share? |

What about using a small pike?
On a recent backlash podcast Steve Gensen talked about using pike on a quick strike rig with success. |
